- (usually preceded by the) All the papers, treatises, etc. published in academic journals on a particular subject.
- The obvious question to ask at this point is: ‘Why posit the existence of a set of Thematic Relations (THEME, AGENT, INSTRUMENT, etc.) distinct from constituent structure relations??
